they obviously don't see it the way nancy pelosi does. >> i think nancy pelosi to a degree is correct. she says washington does not have a spending problem and to a degree she's right. they have a spending addiction. she says it's education, no. almost everything, the money is pouring out from almost every direction across the country. you've got the green jobs being created, about $575,000 per job created and an $838 billion stimulus that stimulated nothing. 7-point #% unemployment. we have obamacare coming down the pike at $2.5 trillion. so this is spending that didn't have to happen. nancy pelosi and barak obama pushed this through and here we are paying for this. this will be our fifth year most likely with deficits above $1 trillion. >> gretchen: the interesting thing about education spending is that i think most americans would be in favor of putting more money into educating their children if the results proved that we're actually becoming smarter as a society. but we're not. we spend more on education and the kids are doing worse. >> it is very paradoxical. we're spending more

pelosi and steny hoyer gone down the line of the united states does not have a spending problem. the president should i've heard say we do have a problem but we can do things in a bipartisan manner, whether it's i put forward a change cpi in exchange for some closing tax loopholes and for the president to be taken seriously by the country there should be acknowledgment of a spending problem going on throughout the united states coming to the long-term future entitlement programs. lastly, president obama well served to make the point on numbers. 11 million undocumented folks in the country. what would it take to get them in line and have a negative birthrate like that in europe without this workforce here in the united states and many big business folks and republicans from texas and florida here in the capitol they want. that message probably can't go wrong on that especially for folks here on capitol hill. >> but luke, on your spending problem point, i thought according to republicans it's the president when's behind the sequester cuts, he is mr. austerity. that's not an issue.
